VFC interface and FIP commands
bind interface
Use bind interface to bind the VFC interface to a specified Ethernet interface.
Use undo bind interface to remove the binding.
Syntax
bind interface interface-type interface-number [ mac mac-address ]
undo bind interface
Default
A VFC interface is not bound to any Ethernet interface.

Parameters
interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number. This interface can only be
an Ethernet interface or aggregate interface. All member ports of a bound Layer 2 aggregate interface
must be FCoE capable; otherwise, the binding fails. New member ports of a bound Layer 2 aggregate
interface must be FCoE capable; otherwise, FCoE traffic might not be able to pass through. Only SF
cards are FCoE capable.
mac mac-address: Specifies the bound peer FCoE MAC address, in the format of XXXX-XXXX-XXXX and
six bytes in length.
Usage guidelines
To make a VFC interface work, bind it to a physical Ethernet interface. The VFC interface sends and
receives packets through the Ethernet interface bound to it.
To use one physical link to carry multiple VFC interfaces, you must bind these VFC interfaces to different
peer FCoE MAC addresses, but you can bind them to one Ethernet interface. The FCoE MAC address
identifies the device that communicates with a VFC interface. For a point-to-multipoint network, the FCoE
MAC address must be bound. For a point-to-point network, the FCoE MAC address may not be bound.
You can use the display fcoe command to display the FCoE MAC address of a switch. You can display
the FCoE MAC address of an ENode through some software or the NMS.
A VFC interface can be bound to only one Ethernet interface and to only one FCoE MAC address.
An Ethernet interface can be bound to multiple VFC interfaces, but an FCoE MAC address can be bound
to only one VFC interface.
